Easy parking with a private lot. There was a flex driver blocking half the driveway and the front door, but that was not the diner's fault. Inside was a clean, bright, open diner. Staff were great, food was great diner food with a wide menu, within the Michigan diner concept. Prices were reasonable. It was a little loud, but not bad. read more

I had a craving for a gyro and a friend told me he likes the one at Jimmy John's. lol I am so glad I happened to see the sign outside Col's Place! The gyro did not disappoint and the fries were made perfectly: crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. I also had a Greek Salad. It was made fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching all the action and meeting all the servers and cooks. Highly recommended if you like a good ol' diner type of experience. Be sure to try their house-made soups. I saw some yummy chicken and rice, chicken dumpling, chili, and French onion being served and they all looked and smelled divine. read more

I ordered a wing ding dinner with chili and cheese on the fries, coffee, chocolate cake. My guest ordered corn beef sandwich with Cole slaw, diet pop, slice of carrot cake. The order came to $60 without the tip $70 with the tip. How? The chili fries tasted like dog food. Wing ding were ok. The cornbeef sandwich was not good. The cakes were very good. Never spent that much in a small diner ever in life. I will never ever ever go to this restaurant again!!!! I feel like I was ripped off. How could apple Bees be cheaper than. Ordered 2 rib dinners, a margarita, 2 salads, ice tea, from apple bees tip included was $60. I do not recommend Col's. Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

A local diner that hits the spot in a pinch. Been here several times for lunch and the food it always fresh and quick. The service is excellent and there's never a wait to be seated. Typical diner and Michigan favorites on the menu. They have hot soups, chili, salads, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches. I've gotten the chicken avocado wrap several times and each time it's delicious. Grilled chicken with fresh veggies on a pita served with ranch on the side. I usually get fries which look to be double fried so they are nice and crispy. Free refills on pop and you pay at the counter when done. Easy come and go within a lunch hour. Love the attentiveness and appreciate the quick service with quality ingredients. Will have to come back to try their breakfast menu, which has all my diner favorites. read more

Incredibly busy place with quite an array of offerings. We were both into soup and entrees....fish and chips, ham and cheese etc. All excellent. Soup homemade and incredible amount of chicken in it (lemon, chicken, rice). Vegetable side was really fresh corn....not canned and cooked to death. Very inexpensive and real food vs the typical fast food places. Will visit again for sure. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. We both had omelets that were tasty. Service and portions were great. Will return when in the area.

Carried out a cinnamon French toast, was also considering their huevos ranchero too, but settled on the cinnamon French toast since it's the weekend, a Greek skillet and a baby Greek salad to go. Order would take about 10-15 minutes to make it up. The guys here plowing the parking lot are driving around like madmen, two red trucks hauling butt. They are going back and forth to push the snow out into the side of the lot. It's good there's only a few cars in the lot. My husband moved our car as they were driving rather fast, he didn't want us to get showed in at all. They were in and out in less than 8 minutes. In less than time than it took to get our food even. The Greek skillet isn't bad, the side of cinnamon toast wasn't a good idea, it's an upgrade cost and is bland, stale even. Not toasted at all. The first time my husband hasn't eaten more than tow bites of his toast. The side of cinnamon bread was rather stale ready to be used for French toast, not as a side of toast with a skillet. I took a bite of the cinnamon French toast before we even left the parking lot. It was okay. Not crispy or crunchy at all, rather soft and soggy. A bit more time to crisp up wouldn't have hurt it at all. The rest of the French toast was okay, not as special as I had hoped. The carry out order comes with the Kraft pancake syrup, which has corn syrup, sugar, caramel flavor and other artificial flavoring. I opted to use the Canadian maple syrup at home instead. The baby Greek salad was packed in the small to go container. The dressing is the pink beet infused at least. The salad as a whole isn't bad. It has a more of ice berg and romaine lettuce. The Greek salad was the best part of my meal. read more

Always a reliable breakfast spot that's quick and affordable. Can't go wrong with their skillets

Cute diner and quick service. This was our first time and the parking lot was packed. Worried we would have to wait on a Sunday morning. We were seated right away and the food was great. Would return here again. A must go for breakfast and they skillets were amazing and fresh. read more

Pretty weird that the restaurant doesn't have an updated google profile for their Troy address. My experience was so bad I had to go to Yelp. My partner and I barely touched our food; my eggs Benedict meal was soggy and inedible. My partner got a basic breakfast of bacon eggs and toast and they still managed to make it wrong, and wet?? It was like we were being served high school cafeteria food. We sat at the counter and the entire time the staff were running in to each other and fighting. I saw so many arguments between the staff it was disturbing. I am so grossed out by this place I wouldn't go back if you paid me. read more

Service was great! (even for a busy holiday morning) good spot for families to enjoy food together! Highly recommend the avocado chicken BLT

Solid breakfast and lunch Service is solid They up-charge 3% you if you pay by card

Super cute & clean Coney Island diner on 14 Mile, j E of Coolidge. Was craving a good Greek salad decided to give this place a try. My husband ordered fish & chips. Both meals we satisfying and the pink creamy Greek dressing and tartar sauce were on point! Waitperson was very friendly and it was a good experience. read more

Great food (try the rye as strange as that sounds), fast service, and a friendly wait staff. Nothing I have ordered has missed the mark yet.

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. Their soup is very good! The chicken and dumpling is my favorite.

I haven't been to this one in quite a while, but I remember the food was very good and it's been at least 2 years. So I went today and met my son who I meet every Saturday. I ordered the spinach feta scramble which comes with toast and choices of a side and I chose pancakes and I'm mad at myself. I didn't take a picture because it was the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Every ingredient was so fresh the spinach was beautiful the feta they could've put a little more in, but it was wonderful. The service was wonderful . We go to a lot of different restaurants. The ambiance was OK... I highly recommend this one to everyone. Enjoy.!!! read more

I'm not certain why the reviews are so high, but based on that, we tried this place out for dinner and it was a complete fail. First impression was that the waitstaff looked/smelled like they just came from chain-smoking. The menu was impressive, a lot of variety, so it took us a few minutes to order. We started with a saganaki- it's my favorite, but not here. Our waitress said "I think I put too much brandy on, but I love the big flame!" Ok, first of all, I use to make saganaki all the time when I waited tables, and you only put so much brandy (2 tbs at most) for a reason. Never should it look like saganaki soup, which is what we received, the cheese had no time to cook on the skillet. It was edible, but far from the standard. We each ordered a soup, mine, the French onion, was the worst thing ever; One bite and I was done! My bf ordered the lemon rice soup and it was pretty bad, too. Very thick, more like a pudding. It became clear that the kitchen and/or waitstaff knew nothing about food prep or the common motto- if you wouldn't eat it, don't serve it. We ordered the small Greek salad- which was huge- and a patty melt. Two things that we figured would be safe, and they were! The small salad is more like a large, and the patty melt, well, it was standard. Long story short, we will not be returning to Col's. read more

Overall a great breakfast place!!! Good prices and the food was delicious. You definitely don't want to go here if you are looking for an "aesthetic" brunch place lol. It's your typical diner feel. The waitress and cashier man were very kind. Quick service and didn't even have to ask for condiments. I would come back here again 100%! read more

I have been coming here for a while now. I mostly come in on the weekends and get breakfast. I came in last night to get the Country omelet. It's biscuits and gravy the omelet is made with sausage and hash browns inside the omelet have sausage gravy on top. It's so delicious, and customer service is always stellar here. Food is always very good. read more

Great service nice people amazing food you don't even have to ask for more water it gets there very fast and isn't always that busy

Got a carryout for breakfast and grabbed a salad to take to work... corned beef skillet was ok and had lots of onions and peppers, but didn't have enough saltiness for my tastes considering the corned beef should be the star of the show. Ordered OE eggs but got no seasoning, over hard eggs... maybe it cooked more by the time I got it home... but I've gone to places the same distance or further away and eggs got home perfectly cooked. Never got my wheat toast either but the potatoes were more than enough for my carb intake for the day. The chicken salad was their saving grace. The chicken was juicy and delicious... awesome ranch dressing to boot! My daughter got a grilled chicken greek salad and was raving about it. I will definitely be back for the salad, but breakfast was a flop for me! read more

Hmm. So I am giving 2-3 stars because this restaurant is a good local community establishment. But. I wanted breakfast for dinner. I work at Beaumont and was called in for work Saturday for a trauma. Ok. Col's is open and I'll be out by 7pm (Was out before 7 but...) Went to the one at 14/Coolidge and it has hours posted on the door that they are closed at like 3?? So then ordered from their place at 12/75 and the omelette was burrito style I will drive anywhere for an omelette to be all combined.. NOT sautéd stuff with overcooked egg for a burrito wrap. I literally drove from 15/Coolidge to 12 mile and I-75 to get breakfast for dinner Will still go to Cols for some stuff but not on the top of my list anymore. Update your hours. Things like omelettes are important. I will NEVER go back for breakfast. Pics are from the hours posted online and pics posted of their omelette online from Yelp reviews THESE ARE NOT THIER HOURS. THESE ARE NOT THIER OMELETTES. read more

It was our first visit for a carryout. I had the Berry Salad. It came with warm pita bread. I will have it twice (nice big portion). I really enjoyed it. My wife had the perch dinner with baked potato and vegetables. She also enjoyed it. Their service was exceptional and we will return! read more

We brought a group of 16 for lunch the other day. We had called ahead and Col's was more than ready for us. Everyone --from the manager to the waitresses to the bus boy-- was friendly and nice. We were served quickly and efficiently and the food was great. My husband and I both had omelets; others had skillet lunches and sandwiches. Cols is clearly a well-run team of folks. We'll be back! read more

First time trying this restaurant and I won't be going back. Ordered a carry out. Immediately as I was walking in.. I noticed worker's staring. Approached the counter to pay and an employee purposely came by me and looked me up and down multiple times. He proceeded to get the cashiers attention, as she was putting my salad into a bag, he got her attention, she immediately turned around and looked at me. He went around to the kitchen and had multiple guys come out to stare. I took my salad and proceeded to leave..once again, they continued to stare. I came from the gym(pants/T-shirt) Felt so uncomfortable, aggravated and disgusted. Staff was rude and annoyed. Will not be returning. People now days are ridiculous. Train your staff to treat people with respect. read more

I love going to neat diners. Col's is a nice spot in a very convenient location. Their food is delicious. It's the service that was impeccable. Both of the owners came out of the kitchen to speak and check on my meal. I love that type of personalization and attention to detail. The portions are great and they have Real potatoes not the frozen kind!! I've been back three or four times and I will continue to go back!! I've had the breakfast special and the country skillet. I couldn't finish either of them. I didn't want to be too full going into work. read more

Cols Place Royal Oak - The $4.20 breakfast special with "Real" potatoes!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

We went for breakfast this morning. We ordered within 5 minutes, then waited 30 minutes. We never received any food! The Staff was so busy filling to go orders, the rest of the restaurant got zero attention. No one taking care of the restaurant customers. our waitress completely disappeared? We asked the Manager wher our food was? She walked away and never tried to come back to us. Horrible service and we will never go back to this dump. In a Town with a lot of food choices, no need. read more

Perfect local diner. I've never been inside, only ordered via UberEats (which BTW almost always has Cols Place as a free delivery option). Fantastic lemon rice soup. Better than normal grilled cheese, made with Texas toast. Hand dipped (really!) chicken strips and home made ranch. All of the things someone who eats like a toddler would love. read more

Amazing huge breakfast at a very good price. The place was clean and tidy. Staff were pleasant and attentive. The rye bread tasted like it was baked there. Fried potatoes were perfection. Lots of meat and well cooked. I would highly recommend. read more

I think two stars is pushing it, but here goes my review. Went there around 11 AM on a Saturday and the place was pretty empty. Greeter was great and immediately seated us. Took quite a while for our server to come over to take our order and had to give the greeter a heads up to go flag her and get her over to our table. Put the order in and took about 10 minutes to get our food which in a slow restaurant seems a little excessive but that's OK. I would give the food very average rating as it was pretty mainstream breakfast fair. Never saw our server again after the food was brought to our table, which was an issue, because I never received my toast. When she finally did come over 15 minutes later, I said I didn't receive my toast and asked if I wanted it, and I said well now my meal is over now. Don't think I'll be going there anytime soon and you'd be better off going to a Denny's in my opinion. read more

Love the chicken dumplings soup. And most of the meals I've had were good and the service has always been top notch.

This place is an absolute joke. I placed an order on Grub Hub (paid in advance, obviously) and my husband went to pick it up. Two chicken strip pita meals and a plain hot dog. Honestly, it can't get much more simple than that. Husband comes home and opens the bag and there's only ONE chicken strip pita meal and the hot dog. On top of being short one of our dinners, they charged my husband for what he had picked up. He was confused why they were charging him for it since it was a Grubhub pickup, but he's not one to argue, so he just paid for it. I called up to Col's to explain what happened and had to wait on hold for over 5 minutes to talk to some pompous jerk who is supposedly the owner. Said his name was Beckham. I was polite at the beginning trying to explain what happened, but he cut me off and started trying to play the blame game. He didn't apologize for screwing up our order or for having to hold for so long -- he told me that *I* needed to call Grubhub to make sure they didn't charge my card (he offered to do it after I was appalled by this response) and that my husband should have known he shouldn't have had to pay when he picked up the food so that was his fault. I was truly blown away by this guy and his excuses and the fact that he wasn't the least bit apologetic. The best part was when I asked if he would make the other meal for my husband to DRIVE ANOTHER 15 minutes to go pick up, he responded with: "I will not make any food for anyone for free" and said if my husband wanted to come pick up our other meal, that he would have to pay for it. I was so disgusted by his horrible attitude and customer service that I told him he would be seeing my Yelp review and hung up the phone. Well, here I am! And now I just got an update from my husband: The owner knew who he was when he walked in and approached him on the defense and started being a little aggressive with his attitude. *I'm not sure what this guy's problem is, but he should not be the owner of anything.* My husband being the extremely level headed person that he is, was able to handle him and they ended on an okay note (have I mentioned my husband is a saint?) He gave him two free pieces of cheesecake and a pop. A little too late now, dude. I truly hope that one meal was worth losing what could have been a repeat customer. Though, the food was pretty mediocre, so I'm not sure we would have been back. You would think with an attitude like his, the owner would have the food to back him up. Clearly not the case here. read more

I love Col's. Great food, with huge portions and great prices. Add in a friendly and helpful staff and it's a no-brainer.
